This reduces the number of jobs from 48 to 24. The Mitogen part of the test
suite has been parameterized on the Linux container targets to be run against.
Both the Ansible tests & Mitogen tests now use the same source of truth to
control which targets to use: environment variable MITOGEN_TEST_DISTRO_SPECS.
This replaces the two mutually exclusive env vars DISTRO and DISTROS. I've
also removed vestgial traces of an unused env var MITOGEN_TEST_DISTRO.

This will allow a single job to be required in the GitHub branch protection
web UI; regardless of which jobs are added to or removed from the matrix of
platform specific, Ansible specific jobs.
These targets are not used by any active tests, and the large numbers of hosts
multiply the size of the taskvars disctionary in memory to many (10s) MiB.

By switching to block style (`|`) with clip (no `-` or `+`) the failure
messages don't require quoting and gain a single trailing newline. This causes
Ansible to print them as block style, when using the yaml stdout callback
plugin. As a result the values have one less layer of quoting and quote
escaping, making them much easier to read.
This switches `ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec.password()` to
Ansible's plugin option framework. As a result
- The relatively recent `ansible_ssh_password` variable is now respected.
- The SSH connection password can be templated and specified as a play
variable. Task variables will probably also work, but testing was blocked
by #1132.
There is a chance this change will cause a regression in another connection
plugin (e.g. mitogen_docker), but nothing turned up in the test suite.
I intend ot migrate other connection configuration to
`ansible_mitogen.transport_config.PlayContextSpec._connect_option()`, the next
candidate is the remote port.

This replicate the existing Azure DevOps workflow, and adds a couple of new
jobs (Python 2.7 on macOS, Python + vanilla Ansible on Linux).
The GitHub Actions use container images hosted on GitHub Container Registry
(GHCR, ghcr.io/mitogen-hq). These images have been copied straight from the
existing Amazon Elastic Cloud Registry (AWS ECR, public.ecr.aws/n5z0e8q9).
A short period of parallel running is planned. Then a second PR will remove
the Azure DevOps workflow.
Rough guidelines, in decending preference:
- Use mitogen.core if possible
- Use ansible.module_utils.six if possible
- Embed a getattr() or try/except
viewkeys() et al can't be brought into mitogen.core because that package still
targets Python 2.4. dict.viewkeys() were introduced in Python 2.7.
This fixes compatibility with Solaris/Illumos/SmartOS, addressing an issue that shows up most frequently with become. The issue was mostly due to differences in how the TTY driver is handled and the pty driver not supporting echo on both sides of the pipe (as designed, from a Solaris point of view).

The bug was fixed in a previous commit by Jonathan Rosser. This adds testing.
The bug is only triggered when the copy module is used inside a `with_items:`
loop and the destination filename has an extension. A `loop:` loop is not
sufficient.

macOS 11 is not longer an available runner on Azure Devops. The minimum is now
macOS 12. This runner does not have Python 2.7 installed, so running them
would require a custom install - which I'm declaring too much effort for too
little gain.

`mitogen.parent.POLLER_LIGHTWEIGHT` will normally be `PollPoller`, falling
back to `EpollPoller`, `KqueuePoller`, or `Poller`.

Follwing fixes in Ansible 7-9 for CVE-2023-5764 cating `AnsibleUnsafeBytes` &
`AnsibleUnsafeText` to `bytes()` or `str()` requires special handling. The
handling is Ansible specific, so it shouldn't go in the mitogen package but
rather the ansible_mitogen package.
`ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.cast()` is most like `mitogen.utils.cast()`.
During development it began as `ansible_mitogen.utils.unsafe.unwrap_var()`,
closer to an inverse of `ansible.utils.unsafe_procy.wrap_var()`. Future
enhancements may move in this direction.

If casting a string fails then raise a TypeError. This is potentially an API
breaking change; chosen as the lesser evil vs. allowing silent errors.
`cast()` relies on `bytes(obj)` & `str(obj)` returning the respective
supertype. That's no longer the case for `AnsibleUnsafeBytes` &
`AnsibleUnsafeText`; since fixes/mitigations for CVE-2023-5764.
